Yikes! Neuer, wtf?

lol Manu

Scott Stevens would have been proud of that bodycheck. I was worried there for Frimpong

If Lindros was watching that he'd have instantaneous PTSD.

Did Tah just lose a header to Coman? lol

Leverkusen have switched off a bit after Bayern went down to 10.

Leverkusen have switched off a bit after Bayern went down to 10.

Hardly elegant but a win is a win.

 

[gary69]

So another trophy Kane won't win.

Just a moment ago, Köln with a 121st min PK winner against 10-men Hertha, first time they'll be in the QFs in about 15 years.

lol Manu

Neuer got a the standard 2-match suspension in the cup matches, but he apparently injured himself in the collision too. So he will miss at least tomorrow's BL match.

 

[gary69]

Upamecano cleverly goes around a bunch of players and then attacks the ball coming from corner and heads home to make it 1-0 for Bayern after 20 mins.

 

[gary69]

Leverkusen are playing without a recognised striker, but it didn't matter too much. Wirtz scored the first by running through from a false nine/attacking midfielder position as the highest positioned central player.

Then Tah headed in from a corner and ide player Tella's third goal was disallowed for offside after nice through pass from a free kick.

 

[gary69]

Davies and Upamecano mess up in defence, allowing Heidenheim to equalize at the start of 2nd half. Immediately after that Muller (who was the most forward player) is replaced by Musiala.

And couple of minutes later Musiala scores to make it 2-1.

 

[gary69]

Goretzka makes it 3-1, a bit deflected shot goes past the keeper after decent layoff by Sane. But Heidenheim strike back immediately, it's 3-2 with 5 mins still left to play.

But Musiala runs away from halfway line on the counter and scores his 2nd to make it 4-2 after 90 mins.

 

[Power Man]

Amoura with an amazing work on his assist, and also scored a nice goal



Special player

 

[JoVel]

Looks like Moukoko's real age is being questioned in Germany again.

 

[gary69]

Svanberg's nice scissors kick goal makes the last 10 mins interesting, as Wolfsburg now only trails 2-3.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Looks like Moukoko's real age is being questioned in Germany again.

His 'dad' now says he's 4 years older than originally stated. Back when it first came into the news, he swore the opposite. What's changed? He's been cut out, so no more money.

If you put all the things together, I'd say that a scientific age test might be the only way to get to the heart of the matter. But I am not sure if he'll ever agree to do that.

From a business perspective it's still pretty relevant. His market evaluation as a 24 year old would be quite a bit different based on the last few years he played senior football. If I was a club trying to sign him, I'd 100% require that age test first.

 

[Evilo]

At this point his value is low no matter his age. He has had trouble being relevant in the pitch.
That said maybe he needs more time and L1 is a very difficult league for young strikers.

 

[gary69]

Burkhardt run away from the CB pair Kim and Dier (he is starting as Upamecano starts on the bench for the first time this season) but his shot goes just past the post.

Unfortunately Burkhardt injured his hamstring in the run / shot and had to subbed off.

 

[Jack Straw]

Terrier makes it 1-0 for B04

 

[Jack Straw]

Wirtz makes it 2 and Mainz go up 1-0 on Bayern.

 

[Jack Straw]

Mainz go up 2-0. We might get a title race after all.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Svanberg's nice scissors kick goal makes the last 10 mins interesting, as Wolfsburg now only trails 2-3.

That was a fantastic second half of football.

 

[Power Man]

Amoura with his first quiet game of the season

oh well
